Wage Claims

Wage claims refer to the process where employees seek to receive unpaid wages, overtime, or benefits owed by their employer. If an employee believes they haven't been paid correctly or fully, they can file a wage claim with a government agency, such as the labor department. These claims help ensure workers are fairly compensated for their labor. The process involves verifying earned wages, addressing discrepancies, and, if necessary, pursuing legal action to recover owed amounts. Wage claims protect employees’ rights and promote fair employment practices.
